Kid-Friendly Vacations

There's loads of fun for the whole family in Vernon. Come and unplug and get in some quality family time with a kid friendly vacation. Pick your season and then pick your activities. From the beach and valley to the highest mountain peak, there's plenty to do here. Enjoy sun-soaked days full of wet and wild discoveries or choose a vacation of snowy adventures.

Summer Fun

There's nothing like a day at the beach with the kids. We have lots of lakes and lots of beaches for you to enjoy. Head out on the water to explore by kayak, or build sand castles on the beach. Find the perfect picnic spot for you and your family and relax as the kids run around in the sunshine. Pick a quiet fishing hole, a hidden cove or a beachside playground. Vernon has an abundance of beach and lake options for a well-deserved family time out.

Hike and Bike

The Vernon area has dozens of great hike and bike trails for easy family outings. Check out our hike and bike sections to see which ones would be right for you and the kids.

Family Day Out

Grab the family and point your car in the direction of the O'Keefe Ranch, Davison Orchards, or the Okanagan Science Centre. Roam Davison Orchards on a vintage apple train, uncover the mysteries of the universe at the Okanagan Science Centre's hands-on exhibits, or, head out to O'Keefe Ranch and be a pioneer for the day.

Winter Fun

Head up to Silver Star Mountain Resort and discover just how much fun playing in the snow can be. Ski or snowboard snow-ghost lined glades then gather the kids for a family pick-up game of hockey. Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre is a great place for the family to ski or snowshoe the trails. Get the kids giggling as they swoosh over our legendary powder from the seat of an inner tube. Whatever you choose, it's all warm family fun.
